Mohamed LOUTFI, MD Glu (Cyanoacrylate) Septal Ablation:A new hope for the treatment of HOCMP Prof Ali Oto,MD,FESC,FACC,FHRS Hacettepe University Faculty of Medicine,Department of Cardiology Ankara Glue septal ablation CONCLUSIONS • GSA is a promising alternative for the treatment of patients with HOCM. Our experience suggests that GSA is effective,safe and can be performed without serious complications. • Glue seems to be superior to alchol ; immediate freezing prevents leakage to LAD and thought to be particularly useful in the presence of collaterals. • For long-term safety anf efficacy more studies are needed .

MBBS.FRCPC.FSCAI. Interventional Cardiology Consultant Al Habib Medical Group Altakhassoussi Hospital Riyadh Saudi Arabia Conclusion • Small vessel with diffuse disease and tortousities , the option of POBA is still reasonable option and with the introduction of the new DEB it give better result than the DES . • DES will remain the option of choice for the Proximal large vessel . • In diffuse vessel disease combining both technique with proximal stenting and careful selected angioplasty of the distal vessels should be studied more .

Mitchell W. Krucoff MD FACC, FAHA, FSCAI Professor of Medicine / Cardiology Duke University Medical Center Director, Cardiovascular Devices Unit Duke Clinical Research Institute Is “Newer” Always “Better”: Conclusions • Engineering & design objectives are the key to better, safer DES • Design endpoints range from procedural (deliverability) to biological (late loss, endothelialization) to clinical (angina, MI, ST, death) • Design targets include novel aspects of stent platform, drug and drug delivery systems • DES is a “combination product” where changes to one component may affect others--small changes to strut thickness & geometry, polymer, drug, dose and kinetics may result in big outcome changes, for better or for worse. • Achieving novel design changes is not enough until clinical data confirm better outcomes Day 3 Hall: Middle 8:30 -10:00 State of the Art 4 Chairpersons Khairy Abdel Dayem Medhat El Ashmawy Mohamed Abdel Ghany Mohamed Attia Mohamed Sobhy Ossama Sanad 8:30 Bernard Chevalier France 8:45 8:48 William Wijns Belgium 9:03 9:06 - 8:45 Strategies for STEMI treatment - 8:48 - 9:03 Discussion Revascularisation guidelines: US vs EU - 9:06 - 9:21 Discussion Drug eluting stents: can we tell "newer" - 9:24 - 9:39 Discussion Left Atrial Appendage Occluder device a from "better"?

Rates of all-cause stroke and all-cause mortality were noninferior to warfarin, whereas safety events (pericardial effusion) were more common in device group. CONCLUSION Closure of LAA might provide an alternative strategy to chronic warfarin therapy for stroke prophylaxis in patients with nonvalvular AF. (TECHANICAL DIFFICULTIES) ? New anticoagulation drugs: Dabigatran, Rivaroxaban CardioAlex June 07, 2012 Myocardial Revascularisation ESC vs US Guidelines William WIJNS Aalst, Belgium ESC vs US Guidelines Why there should be differences! • Guidelines preparation and publication are not synchronous between US Societies and between ACC, AHA and ESC • Differences in recommendation level and strength are to be expected given evolving evidence and/or experience ESC vs US Guidelines • As a result of the above, ESC Guidelines cannot possibly account for all these differences and should offer “generic” statements, based on scientific evidence and expert experience • Recommendations in ESC Practice Guidelines are relevant to optimal care delivery scenarios – Useful to leverage change in suboptimal environments – “Generalizable” and less system-specific than US documents – No legal value (disclaimer) How to treat inDES restenosis: DES? Balloon? DEB? B. Chevalier, MD, FESC, FACC, FSCAI ICPS, Massy, France Conclusions InDES restenosis is unfrequent and selects different population than BMS restenosis SES is superior to plain balloon except for late loss Role of DEB remains unclear Future role of absorbable DES ?? Nobori DES – Clinical Update Bernard Chevalier ICPS Massy France Conclusions • Results of both selected and real life patients are very encouraging • Results are consistent in various geographic areas and patient subsets • Particularly appealing are results in AMI, Bifurcation, Small Vessels, and Diabetic Patients • Extremely low rate of late and very late stent thrombosis appears to confirm hypothesis about long term safety of DES with abluminal coating & biodegradable polymer CARDIO ALEX 2012 Alexandria, Egypt, June 5 – 8, 2012.
